Muhammad bin Ka'b Qurazi says: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had lent money to a man. That man used to come to him to demand repayment, but the debtor would hide upon seeing him. One day, as usual, he came to demand his debt, and the man's son came out of the house. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about his debtor, where he was. The boy said: Yes, he is at home and eating khazirah. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) called out: O so-and-so! Come outside, I know that you are at home. So he came out. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: What is the reason that you hide from me? He replied: The fact is that I am in hardship, I do not have the means to repay the debt. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever gives respite to a debtor or forgives his debt, he will stand under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day of Resurrection.
